Electrical circuit do not go dead but theyreliably shut down. If there is a thermal protection circuit supervising the heat dissipated that would the circuit to shut down until it cools and start again and probably repeat the cycle.

Will overcharging cellphone cause electrical short circuit?
No, overcharging cellphone will not cause an electrical short circuit.
Why are damaged electrical cords dangerous?
because it can can cause fire or electrical shock.
Would cause high resistance in a closed electrical circuit?
corroded/dirty connections
Can a switch in the off position cause an electrical short circuit?
No, once the switchis openedthere is no longer any voltage in the circuit to short out against.
What happens if there is a break in a serious circuit?
A break in an electrical circuit will cause the circuit's load to stop operating.
What happens to an electrical circuit when there is unwanted resistance in it?
a common cause of this type problem is corrosion at a connector.
Can a switch in the off position cause electrical short circuit?
No, once the switch is turned off the circuit is de energized. A de energized circuit can not be shorted out to create a fault.
What would cause a 1995 Buick to turn off while driving making you pull over all electrical system shut down and after several attempts to restart with no cranking sounds finally miraculously start?
the main brain box.
What type of connection will cause an overload current?
A connection between the "hot" and the neutral will cause an over current condition. In electrical terminology this is known as a short circuit.
What does voltage cause the flow of?
there is a difference in electrical potential energy.
What do tripped circuit breaker and blown fuses indicate?
Blown fuses indicate overload in the electrical circuit. Possible short-circuit or higher input voltage.Tripped circuit breakers I guess means:A residual-current device (RCD), similar to a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) which is used for breaking the circuit when electric current pass through a man or could cause fire/burning in the/near the electrical sockets.
What best describes the condition that occurs when bare wires in an electrical circuit accidentally touch causing more current to flow than the circuit can safely carry it will cause a fuse or circiut?
The correct name is a Short Circuit.
